What did his confession incriminate him for exactly? Humans were not respected as sentient beings, at worst he could be charged with a monster version of animal cruelity, but seeing as how Monsters Inc's entire MO was around traumatizing and torturing children akin to how we farm blood from horshoe crabs, how did his plans of kidnapping and experimenting on human children ruin him?
>>156244648>torturing childrenGrey didn’t
>>156244662Torture foes not need to be physical like the definition of violence. They were completely emotionally abusive, manipulative (intentionally scaring children to get them to scream and cry) and psychologically damaging to them. Boo was scares to return to her own room and of her closed because of Randal's encounters with her not shown in the movie.
>>156244709>Boo was scares to return to her own room and of her closed
>>156244648>Humans were not respected as sentient beingsthey were seen as an extremely toxic hazard so bringing them into the monster world was definitely illegal
>>156244648>Humans notice kids being kidnapped and left with bizarre lip scars>Eventually find out monsters are grabbing them and doing something to them>Humans set up traps over the globe to get one in the act>Monsters now have to deal with a potential war and their primary energy source being drained faster than they can obtain it
>>156244648because he confessed to illegally entering the human world and bringing in not just human artifacts, but an actual human, and intended to go back and do it 1000 more timesin a society where a single sock gets the CDA called in to nuke it, he wants to bring back a lot more childrenits that simple
>>156244648>Humans were not respected as sentient beingsWere they not? Monster society is pretty close to human’s barring the ability to step into other worlds, and nothing about them indicates the monsters see themselves as racially superior. Humans are probably closer to aliens than animals to monsters.
>>156244648It's bad fucking press to openly admit you'd torture a thousand of ANYTHING before letting a company die. They expect you to keep that to yourself.
>>156244648Kids were consider biohazard, at least to the public. For the goverment agency, him kidnapping a kid was the equivalent of building a nuclear reactor in your basement.
Reminder that by the time he confesses, at the very least Roz is already aware kids are not actually toxic, so that's not the reason he's imprisoned.
>>156245198What about torturing a thousand tiny Hitler clones?
>>156245305>Reminder that by the time he confesses, at the very least Roz is already aware kids are not actually toxicshe seemed like she was always aware the humans are toxic was probably government propaganda in the first place not really much reason for monsters to get the belief in the first place otherwise
>>156245053This, it was a plan that, with one too many slip ups, would lead to the Monster World getting visits from armed humans, be it a parents ready to gun down whoever hurt their kid, to governmental bodies looking to protect its citizens. It's just asking for Monster life to get up-ended.
>>156245432Shut up Oney.
>>156245198Easy to make an argument of "us vs them", do you defend the horshoe crabs rights over how practical their blood are for our medical needs?
>>156245806>not really much reason for monsters to get the belief in the first place otherwiseProbably made up by the Monster Government because they don't want citizens kidnapping children and using them as living batteries, again, that's just asking for the Human government to start looking into their existence. And if we're to say that this movie takes place around it's release year (2001), humans would be dam ready to invade and attack an apparent enemy that can get into people's houses so easily.
>>156245965>>156245806>>156245305Waternoonse's family started the CPA iirc, but they are a functioning governmental agency outside the MI company. Technically despite being separate... i mean cmon, where else would you expect them to hang out? Border patrol doesn't hang out on the east coast, yknow?
>>156244648Breaching containment by bringing humans into the monster world.
>>156245198This. Monsters, Inc.'s stocks would've never recovered had Waternoose remained on staff.
>>156244648a noose of water >>> a rope of sand
Property and environmental law. Imagine working for a mining company, stealing uranium ore and storing it at your house with no protection.

>>156244648Kidnapping kids means bringing them to monster world, that alone means he's breaking serious laws
He was jailed for an illegal monopoly and forcing an uncompetitive market because he could've created energy with laughing instead of fear.
I don't think a society of monsters would culturally equate scaring children to "torture". People in reality get in big shit for, say, destroying orangutan habitats. And even our morality on it is kind of arbitrary, because we'll farm some animals en mass but get called a monster for even taking other animals as pets
>>156244648>how did his plans of kidnapping and experimenting on human children ruin him?Cause kidnapping and experimenting on human children bad.
>>156244709bit of tough love, did those children a favor
>>156245957We actually use their blood. We're not torturing them for torture's sake.A closer example would have been ortolan bunting consumption or how the Chinese will torture animals for a gamier taste, but even then in this anglosphere non-Epstein-class board you're not going to find people defending that.
>>156244648>"And I'll silence anyone who gets in my way!"Bro says he's gonna commit cold-blooded murder to keep his company afloat.
>>156246803You give monsters far too much credit. There are NUMEROUS well-performing Fortune 500 companies run by morally corrupt businessmen who've accrued all manner of lawsuits.
IF I WERE A RICH MAN
>>156252090He deserves the stock options
>>156244648>when you realize the movie is an allegory about archons farming loosh from kids
>>156244648It's not the whole torture thing, it's that Waternoose implicated himself in a plot to kidnap children, a highly toxic species that's considered serious enough to launch a city wide manhunt for and incinerate an entire restaurant under the suspicion that it held a single member of the species. Hell they have an entire branch of their law enforcement just for handling human objects and finding any escaped humans.And Waternoose just admitted that he's the one responsible for kidnapping the existing one that's caused so much trouble and is planning on doing it again and again for monetary gain. That's enough to send him to prison forever, under whatever laws the Monster universe has against bringing humans into their city.
